TBBT Grow Pod - Prototype

Inspiration: @1:38:30

Source: https://microlabfarms.com/

Idea:
The prototype will be a tenth of the size to get started. 
Planning to build a prototype of a GrowPod using wood as the skeleton of structure and Metal Roofing sheets as the exterior then coat it with something to protect it from rust over time to simulate actual shipping container. Then maybe spray insulation on the inside for water proofing and better control over circulation. In this space we can make a mock of a water and air filtration/circulation system. Then go into developing the sensor arrays and environmental controls. I want this system to be self contained in one shipping container and modular over time housing other parts in various containers over time.
